How the Price of Lumber Could Affect the Price of Your Custom Dream Home

Cost can be (and often is) a significant factor in buying or building a house. When going the route of building a home, price is even more so on the mind. The cost of the land, cost to design, and the cost of the materials. And living in Canada, the primary material used to build houses is lumber/wood. 


Unfortunately, lumber's price has been going up and doesn't look to be going down anytime soon. Since most homes built in Canada are made from lumber, this means higher prices for newly built homes and custom build homes.


There has been a downturn in production at sawmills, and an increase in demand as more people now have the time to tackle home improvement projects. Due to this increased demand and the lower amount of output from sawmills, prices have gone up.


So what does this mean for our clients? Those who have started to build or are in the process? Well, you should have received, or will soon, an email regarding this issue. We want to assure you that Fine Point Cedar Custom homes and Lindal Dealers in Western Canada have ways to mitigate future cost increases as you go on your journey in building a Lindal custom home.

But, what does this mean for those who are still in the thinking phase? Those who haven't decided yet whether or not they want to build a custom home?


Well, it means that this is the time to make that decision. Are you ready to build the home you've always wanted? The one where you and your family will grow in, your forever home. 


Deciding to build is a difficult one, one that deserves time and much consideration. Lumber prices don't look to be going down, but interest prices are the lowest they have ever been, and Lindal Custom Homes offers 30-day price protection! Lindal offers specific terms of price protection better than your local lumberyard, prices that you couldn't get there! Check out our other blog post on the cost of building a Lindal home.


Barb and Doug Pocha of Lindal Dealers in Western Canada, will be there to help you during your custom home journey. Not only that, but Lindal has a Lifetime Warranty on their houses, a home that once finished we know you'll love.


We also have pre-fab homes, which can be a little lighter on the wallet and our new Lindal Imagine Series, which has seven different styles of homes to choose from. These were created with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, homes that were designed for the modern middle-class family! 


From our quick ship homes to our newest Imagine Series, Lindal offers a dream custom home that is perfect for your family and your budget.


So, while lumber prices are increasing, that doesn't mean you have to put off building your dream home!

Building a Lindal Imagine Home in Red Deer

Building a custom home is the dream of many people, but it can sometimes seem daunting or financially out of reach, which is why so many will settle for buying new. However, buying new doesn't always mean that you don't have to make updates or changes. This is because buying new isn't the same as building your custom home!

Lindal Western helps home buyers make their ideal home come to life! And with interest prices at an all-time low, now is the time to put building your custom dream home into action.

Lindal Imagine Series

Building a custom home allows you to build your dream house and have it be move-in ready. There is nothing you have to change or paint or replace because you made it entirely yours. 

Lindal helps you to make your dreams come true. 

Lindal Western Canada is in the business of creating and building your dream home!

We have recently partnered with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to launch our Imagine Series of homes. A collaboration between everything you love about Lindal homes and the designs and vision of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Frank Lloyd Wright was a famous and well-known architect known for his Usonian homes. These homes have been updated for modern living and to fit the lives of Lindal clients. The homes in the Lindal Imagine Series were designed to be affordable and customizable to the middle class. Many of these houses are single level, which means less to heat in the cold Edmonton winters! 

Choose from seven different designs for your dream custom home; all premium materials that are pre-engineered and all come with a lifetime warranty that will give you and your family peace of mind. These homes are pre-fab (pre-fabricated), which is perfect for those that live a busy or stressful life. All you'll have to do is choose and finalize your design with Doug or Barb, Lindal Western Canada's dealers and buy your plot of land! Your home will be shipped there and assembled on your property!

Lindal wanted to create home designs to meet today's families' needs and lifestyles, deeply rooted in Frank Lloyd Wright's 'Organic Architecture' principles of harmony, sustainability, and integration with nature. These homes are designed with spaces for quiet reflection and exuberant celebration. That is what the Lindal Imagine Series does.
